Jumpstart your product innovation ideas

Sorghum

98% of gluten-free eaters rank taste as their top preference from baked goods. With its versatility and mild taste, sorghum is a great option to reinvigorate gluten-free products.  

Sustagrain®

Our Trend to Table research shows that 85% of consumers say ingredients matter. Stand out with Sustagrain® barley as one of the highest fiber whole grains on the commercial market. 

Chickpeas

A whopping 92% agree that "great tasting foods" play a key part in dietary lifestyles. Give consumers the innovative, delicious and indulgent creations they desire with our chickpea varieties. 

Join us at the Taste of Science stage

Gluten-free products have proven successful in the marketplace, but continuing innovation is needed to keep pace with consumers’ interests to expand the category. Gluten-free labeling is not enough, and consumers seek products that also provide a great eating experience. Are you ready to address both parts of that interest? Learn from Senior R&D Chef, Kirk Borchardt, on the ease-of-use sorghum provides with gluten-free product applications at this year’s Taste of Science stage.
